The X-men run missions and work together with the NYPD, striving to maintain a peaceful balance between humans and mutants. When it comes to a fight, they won't back down from protecting those who need their help.
Haven presents itself as a humanitarian organization for activists, leaders, and high society, yet mutants are the secret leaders working to protect and serve their kind. Behind the scenes they bring their goals into reality.
From the time when mutants became known to the world, SUPER was founded as a black-ops division of the CIA in an attempt to classify, observe, and learn more about this new and rising threat.
The Syndicate works to help bring mutantkind to the forefront of the world. They work from the shadows, a beacon of hope for mutants, but a bane to mankind. With their guiding hand, humanity will finally find extinction.
Since the existence of mutants was first revealed in the nineties, the world has become a changed place. Whether they're genetic misfits or the next stage in humanity's evolution, there's no denying their growing numbers, especially in hubs like New York City. The NYPD has a division devoted to mutant related crimes. Super-powered vigilantes help to maintain the peace. Those who style themselves as Homo Superior work to tear society apart for rebuilding in their own image.

This wasn't remotely helped by the fact that Emily could literally read Skye better than most people, which would have been confusing enough if not for that. But here they were, with Emily sending off mixed signals and Skye sending out very accurate neon lights. Yeah, that was totally fair...
She didn't even want a relationship, but for some reason everything was going haywire. Ugh. Either shoot me or kiss me but for God's sake do one or the other, woman! She practically wanted to yell. But she didn't. Skye wasn't that crazy. Yet.
"There is nothing ****ing healthy about this," she muttered, mostly to herself but probably louder than usual; she didn't know.
"Well, we agree on something," she said, trying to focus her mind, but to no avail. "Now get your ass up, there's a raccoon necromancer begging for an ass-kicking" she said, but then she got up and grabbed another cola, popping the top and practically chugging it. Yeah, that would help.
She leaned herself on the table, not paying attention to her friend lying on the floor, or the view she was probably giving the empath, but she wasn't thinking about that. Right now, she was just trying to clear her mind and get her stuipd-ass feelings to calm down.

Emily caught what Skye said and winced. The emotions that she was experiencing caused her serious discomfort. why couldn't things just be simple? Everything had seemed so easy earlier today. Had she set a weird precedent when she'd invited Skye over to play games and hang out? She recalled Skye's excitement earlier that she'd questioned her on. Should she have picked up on it earlier and tried to detangle this web before everything got caught up? Did she catch it and just not want to?
Emily was actually covering her eyes with her arm drawn across her face, her purple locks spilling like a violently coloured cocktail across the floor behind her. Everything was starting to spin quite a lot now and not looking at the ceiling was nice. Her eyelids were being bathed in a vague purple and occasionally pink glow from Skye, which was nice. She liked both of those colours. She really thought orange and yellow suited her, but she didn't mind pink too much.
"Do you ever wish you could change thingsh about your power?" Emily asked, her voice a little less coherent than before. Maybe having multiple drinks in a short space of time without eating much during the day at all was a mistake. Oops.
"I do. All the time." she admitted, not really hearing Skye's words, her arm gently covering her vision. "Usually it's just why can't I have an off switch..." the words hung in the air for maybe 30 seconds while her impaired cognition caught up with her.
"sometimes.. I wish I could help other people with what they feel. Throw away the sadness, up the joy. an sometimes I wish I could control my own."

Skye had finished her cola and just stood with her upper half propped up on the table, looking down as the now purple mohawk draped around her head. She liked being around Emily, she really did. She liked Emily as a person. But she didn't have feelings for her. She couldn't. Right? Yeah, of course.
The question hit Skye like a ton of bricks. "Sometimes I wish they weren't tied to my emotions. Something I could just do, ya know? Or that they could be a little more useful than just a brief flashbang. Or that I could...I don't know, use them to fly or something instead, pretty much anything but this," she admitted, finding herself shaking as her hair and the accompanying lights turned blue.
"I was okay with my power for awhile. I really was. But after Mari and I went on br--no. Screw it. We broke up. There I said it. After that, everything went kinda...haywire. Not only did my grades drop, and I shirked my X-men training...I seem to have regressed in my power training as well. Like everything I learned just....went down the drain. So yeah. I've found myself wishing I had a different powerset entirely. One not tied to something as unstable as the emotions of a twenty-year-old girl."
She dropped to her knees and just lay her head on the table, the light going back to a frazzled purple that bathed....well, it pretty much just bathed her head because she had her head resting on her hands.

Emily blinked, a little cohesion coming back to her brain as Skye started replying. She listened intently and pouted underneath her arm, taking in what the other girl was saying. She supposed she could see why Skye's power frustrated herself, she could be sympathetic, obviously. Emily's power didn't cause those around her physical discomfort, just strife when they found out what it was doing.
"Yeah. I get that. I wish..." She blinked and sat up "Whoa." She was definitely drunk. She took a moment to steady herself against the desk, leaning against it, very close to Skye but not actually touching her. She let Skye finish and felt a little sad smile twist at her lips.
Skye clearly missed Mari in all kinds of ways. She really must have loved her. And the fact that she could recognise the two of them had broken up was healthy. It meant that if she really wanted her back, if she really should do that, it was a real possibility. Recognising the situation was very important.
She slowly stood up, wobbling a little as she did and reached a shaky hand out, planting it on Skye's shoulder. The little vibrations of her nervousness were probably evident. "So first" She cleared her throat and popped a can of coke taking a big sip before placing the hand back on the shoulder, slightly less shakily than before. "I actually kind of love your power. It's unique and expressive, and I'm sure that you have every reason to hate the negatives but.. Honestly, it's kind of beautiful. I wish I could affect the world around me in some way."
She smiled sadly again. "The reason I said that is because I wish I could help take away or take on some of your sadness because it sucks. I'm glad you're thinking more about things, and you're finding your own happiness and grounding it in yourself instead of others. That's good." Emily hoped not too much of it was getting grounded in her.
She gently ran a fingers through the flopped purple mohawk and smiled again. "Break ups are not the end of the world. Life goes on. As I'm sure you're now realising, and I know it sounds corny but I get where you are. Really I do when I-" She stammered a little. "When I went through that sh** I wallowed for a long time. I'd become so reliant on somebody else's emotions I didn't recognise my own very well, I still don't sometimes." She conceeded.
"And if you are broken up, and you love her as much as it feels like you do... You can try to do something about it. If that's what you want to do, I support you. If you need time to get your thoughts together before you speak to her, I'll help, or give you space if that's what you want. And if it doesn't work out... Well, it'll suck but it won't be the end of the world, you have friends hobbies and things that you want to do like your training with-" Something caught up in her brain.
"Wait did you say training with the X-men?" She had an amused edge to her voice. "That's a thing too." She said softly.

Skye was listening, but she felt about a million miles away from it all. There, but not there. It was the hand on her shoulder that brought her back to reality, and she looked over at Emily, the side of her face resting on her arms as the other girl spoke. "You do?" she asked, blushing slightly. Normally, Skye loved her power too, but the downside of it was becoming a doozie, she found. Especially with these odd...feelings she felt bunched in. Was it even sincere or was she just clinging to the first person to scoop her up after her breakup? She *liked* Emily but those thoughts earlier were...ugh.
"I wish I just...didn't care as much as I do," she said flatly, giving a light shudder as she felt fingers running through her soft, product-free mohawk. "Like maybe this shit would be a whole lot easier to deal with, ya know?" At this point she wasn't sure if she was talking about the breakup or these new....feelings, but it was probably safe to assume both, all things considered.
"I understand. Wallowing was....easy. At least until your ass came along!" she looked up and forced a smile, her hair flicking back to orange, and then a more affectionate but less lovey pink.
"I do love her, I mean, I think I did? But for the past two months I've just been...hurt and angry. And confused. Definitely confused." She gave a nervous laugh as she broke eye contact again, laying her head back on her arms. "Honestly....as long as I've got you...I'll make it," she almost whispered. "I know I'll be fine, eventually. I just wish I was already there, ya know?"
She re-positioned herself to look at Emily again, giving another smirk. "Oh yeah. I'm totally an X in training," she said brushing her mohwark out of her eyes. "Surprised~?"

"I do." She replied immediately, with sincerity. "And you know at this point that I understand downsides, and not having an off switch." Admittedly though, Emily hadn't suffered a headache since they'd been in her room, she'd been distracted. Go figure.
"I don't." She responded softly again when Skye exclaimed she wished she didn't feel things like she did. "I know it hurts. Trust me, I literally know." She paused before pressing on. "The fact that you feel things so deeply is part of what drew me to you in the first place, so if you didn't I'd probably not have a friend right now. I mean that literally, you're the first person I've connected to in god knows how long." She admitted a little sheepishly. "And yeah, it would probably be easier to deal with, but you wouldn't be so happy when you experience joy, I think. Everything balances out." She added with a smile.
Some of the tension had melted away now, and Emily smiled when the emotions shifted again, and basked a little in the brief pink glow this time. "I don't make anything easy, if you have not had the chance to work that out yet." She admitted with a soft smile.
Heh. Confusion. Fun. Nerves and tension rose again. "So even though your power might lead you to believe otherwise emotions are not clean cut and a one at a time thing, they are complex and nuanced." She explained with a little shrug that was not fully visible. "I'd also suggest... Again, from personal experience." God Skye was making her think about her drama with Kendra a little. Her voice had some shake to it. She was over that, right? She didn't think about Kendra anymore, and she was certainly not in love with her anymore.
"If you want my opinion, you wouldn't be in such profound agony over her if you didn't lover her." She ventured. Yuck. Feelings.
Emily leaned down next to Skye and took an inhalation before hugging the other girl again, probably pretty hard. That could happen when you were out of practice. And also maybe terrified of touching another human. "I'm not going anywhere, can't get rid of me that easily." She soothed warmly.
Quirking an eyebrow at Skye. "Oh? So maybe you're not totally adorable and defenceless then. I suppose you might have some fangs." She teased.
"Yeah, that's true," she murmured, looking at Emily.
"Y-you don't?" she said softly, and then listened to the explanation. It helped, but surely Emily knew the strange cocktail of emotional bull Skye was dealing with right now, right? Oh right...she knew *everything*...great. Well, she was sticking around, which was a good sign; Skye just didn't know if the alcohol had helped there or not. Oh well.
"You may not make it easy but you've softened the blow a good bit," she admitted. "And you've helped me get back on my feet." You've also given me these weirdass feelings that I don't know what to do with but I'm going to try to ignore that for now, she thought to herself.
"Maybe...I was just so happy to find that....I'd be okay with just one person. That I'd be okay with....settling down, having a steady relationship...only to find that maybe..." she took a breath. "That maybe she wasn't okay with being with me," she said, her voice shaking, the lights flickering blue.
And then they went green with surprise as Emily hugged her, and a grunt escaped her lips because she was not expecting an iron grip. But the lights still flickered pink as she turned into it and let her arms firmly yet tenderly wrap around the other girl.
"Good. I'm tired of driving people away," she said flatly.
"I told you," she said, looking into Emily's eyes with a smirk. "I'm full of surprises~" She winked before laying her head on her friend's shoulder for a moment, just basking in the pink glow that lit up that corner of the room.

Skye was such a silly person it was pretty funny. Emily pretty much had a perfect read on her emotions right now having been this close to her for this long, and if Skye hadn't driven her away yet even with her silent proclamation of romantic feelings not much was going to drive her away this point. Emily couldn't really put a finger on what would to be honest. If they'd actually kissed a few minutes ago when their faces were inches apart maybe she'd have shut down or freaked out...
She shook her head a little, trying to shake the hold those thoughts had on her brain loose. "Your emotions aren't just confusing to you I guess." she murmured. Normally it wouldn't have been audible, but er... She was kind of pressed up to Skye in a hug.
"Okay so people are complex, dumb idiot." she teased softly, squeezing her in affection. "I don't know her. But I do know you, more intimately than most people ever will." Oh wow. That wasn't supposed to come out like that. She quickly pressed on before Skye could bleach her room purple. "But it doesn't sound like you've actually worked out what really happened yet. You weren't convinced it was actually a breakup until just now, so maybe it sounds like you at the very least need some clarity or closure?" She ventured, leaning on her friend.
"And I'm saying that because you're clearly a massive dummy and can't work this out for yourself, but you're amazing, and anybody that you manage to actually push away isn't worth your time. I totally am, because I'm more awesome." The brit chirped.
Emily felt another little shudder when Skye leaned her head onto the shoulder, but it quickly settled. It was weird. She'd only worked out she had issues with touching people. Well, she'd only accepted it a few days ago but she felt strangely safe with Skye. Emily blushed at the wink. "Yes. You are. I've not worked out if I like all of them yet, but again, not going anywhere." She soothed reaching her arm around and gently leaning against Skye too for a minute.

Inwardly Skye was thankful she didn't drive Emily away, and though she said she wouldn't leave, Skye was still wondering. She was sure something was liable to do it. But deep down she didn't want to find out what. So, she'd just naively assume that Emily really wasn't going anywhere. Ever.
"Sorry about that," she said. "If it helps I don't even understand them right now," she pretty much whispered. Her smile grew at the squeeze, but surprisingly the room did not glow purple at the comment; in fact the pink lights pulsed a little more intensely at the words, but calmed as Emily continued speaking.
"I guess I do need closure or...something. Or maybe breaking up the last time we saw each other was supposed to be closure but I just refused to accept it...ugh," she groaned. "Well, you've been worth my time so far," she murmured softly, head still on Emily's shoulder, giving her a squeeze. "And you are awesome. Very much so." Which is why I'm having the problems with these ****ing lights right now...
"Maybe not all of my surprises are good but...I'm glad you're not going anywhere," she said, possibly repeating herself. She wasn't sure at this point, but hey, only some of the butterflies were emotions, the others were the alcohol. At some point Skye thought maybe she should let go of the hug, but...she just stayed there.

When Emily finished speaking, and she felt Skye's reaction she leaned against the other girl as close as she could. This was the closest she'd been to somebody in years, period. Both physically and emotionally. She hadn't realised how much she'd missed it, Emily had just resented the pain that came from situations like this going wrong and had shut herself off from pretty much everybody. She was now slowly starting to come to the realisation that it might have been a mistake. She supposed for all the lecturing she gave to Skye, she probably had just as many if not many more issues herself. Go figure. She sighed gently, closing her eyes.
"If you're confused and you can't work it out on your own, you need closure. It's that easy." She explained softly. "And it might be negative, I hope it's not. But either way I'm here for you Skye." On reflection the alcohol had probably helped with some of her social hang ups in this situation. She definitely wasn't thinking about the fact her and Skye were touching much at all, and she'd also been pretty honest. Barriers were still up there, just not as impossibly high.
She blushed and fidgeted at the genuine heartfelt compliment. She was glad her eyes were closed, it made it easier to pretend it wasn't there. Comments like that really meant something coming from Skye. She ought to say something.
She opened her eyes and glanced down at the sweet pink haired woman with an unusually timid smile on her cheeks. "Maybe not all of them are good. But." She didn't finished the thought, she leaned her head out of site gently, hiding another blush from Skye and holding her close. Okay, so maybe she had romantic feelings for Skye.

"Yeah...I guess I do, but part of me is just wishing I was the type who could just say the hell with it, and let it go. End of story," she sighed. "It's gonna work out, one way or the other. That much I'm sure. And in the end...it'll all be okay. After all, I've still got you. You promised, she teased lightly, giving her friend another squeeze.
They'd been hugging a pretty long time, and Skye had to admit, she felt a lot of things in Emily's arms. She felt safe, comfortable, lov--appreciated. Yeah. She still didn't understand why her feelings were doing this to her, but...she had to wonder...did she actually hate it? What she hated was not knowing if Emily actually felt similarly or if it was all in Skye's head. Maybe her feelings were best just to be sat on in this case. Or more literally...bathe in the light of them but never let them go beyond that.
Her eyes shut, she hang onto Emily's words. Until she got to one that just...stayed in the air, and it caused Skye to open her eyes and pull back just enough to attempt to look at her friend.
"But what?" she asked, cocking her head to the side, a look of intrigue and yet confusion on her face.

"If that's what you want. If that's really what you think is best, then do it." She admitted, she wasn't omniscient she couldn't tell Skye definitively what the best answer was. She often acted like her empathy granted her much more insight than it did. "I can't tell you what's right, All I can really tell you is to be honest with yourself, and if you're struggling with that give me a kick and I'll do it for you." She replied with a soft smile that quickly turned into another blush when she got squeezed.
She did promise, didn't she? No way she was breaking her word to Skye. Odd though... Emily had never really thought about the giving their word or being honest thing before. The whole situation with her mum had made her extremely distrustful of people, and she figured that if her mother could lie about things, then Emily shouldn't be giving her word over things. But she wanted to keep her word to Skye. And it wasn't just that she liked being around the lovely girl, and it definitely wasn't just that she had feelings for Skye. It was something else. Skye made her want to keep her word, maybe prove that she wasn't just some toxic person that couldn't maintain a relationship even through some trouble... Wow. There was something to unpack there.
Emily's cheeks flushed in the most brightly they ever had, it was quite a fetching contrast on her pale skin. She looked straight up at the ceiling, away from Skye and counted to 10 in her head, internally struggling a little. "But some of them can be good. Or at least I don't dislike them." She muttered, kind of talking herself in circles for a second before taking in a deep breath, mentally slapping herself.
"Okay. F*** it. Honesty." She took one more quick breath and sat up a little, so Skye was still lying her head back gently against her and leaned down, so she was in Skye's face. Weirdly it was less scary to do it when she was in her face. "Skye, I have genuine feelings for you. I'm sorry if that complicates things for you, but I don't want to lie to you. I..." She smiled, still completely red. "You're the closest I've been to another human in literally years, and I don't think it's just a funny coincidence, I think it's because you're you." Okay. She said it. She froze. Weirdly... Emily's arms had stopped shaking, even though she was basically holding Skye and had just confessed something super awkward.
Some of her surprises were good, but Emily didn't dislike them? That sort of made sense. After all, she didn't dislike Skye after all, so it was perfectly logical--"F*** it." That really got Skye's attention, and her eyes locked onto Emily's as she spoke, and...was what she was saying even real? She was sure they were, and there was no way she could imagine all of that, right?
Both girls were still in a somewhat embrace, their matching beet-red faces mere inches from each other, and Emily just confessed that she did in fact have feelings for Skye. The pink light pulsed steadily, going faster than even her own rapidly beating heart. Jesus that thing was racing; she almost wondered if it was just going to explode out of her chest in a minute. That or her red-hot face would make her head explode.
But at the same time, she was confused. There was Mari, who was a maybe. And then there was Emily who was right there. It was confusing. But it'd been two whole months and she hadn't even heard from Mari. Ugggggh...why couldn't Skye's feelings be as easy to deal with as they were to read? But there were several reasons why feelings weren't as easy as 'Oh, that's pink' or 'that's blue.'
"Well," Skye said, not breaking eye contact, "I know I don't have to tell you how I feel, so I won't," she said flatly, still looking into those eyes as she was sure sweat was beading on her brow and the exposed part of her head. There was a logical way around this, but she wasn't exactly a logical person. Especially not over the past few months, and definitely not right now.
She took a breath, the pink light pulsing purple as she closed her eyes, and then closed the distance between their lips, her breath catching sharply.

If it had been a week earlier, or even a few hours ago Emily might have writhed a little at the internal reaction to Skye, but she kind of already had a good bead on how Skye felt and also.. She decided she didn't care, she just wanted Skye to be happy. And it was really a good thing that she'd worked out her own feelings and felt comfortable sharing them with Skye. The realisation was amusing and felt good.
The twisting of the attraction and love-aligned emotions within Skye made Emily's straight faced blush turn slowly into a shaky smile. Even if she'd already known how Skye felt there was something really special about confessing feelings for a girl and then slowly feeling them respond in kind. She felt the butterflies in her stomach squirming in excitement, and a soft slow happiness and calm started to set across her.
She smiled timidly, still very read. Very nice and calm. "I suppose I d-" Whoa whoa holy crap.
Suddenly Skye closed the gap, and they were. Hm. Kissing. Okay, so Emily was both out of practice, and now confused about her own reaction, as Skye leaned into her and kissed her they sort of switched positions and Emily fell backwards on the cushion a little. Her hands flailed out a little in the open air in panic at both the kiss and sudden motion before they slowly settled back down against the back of Skye's head.
She was a little scared and shaky at first. But then, she leaned into the kiss softly and felt warmth like she hadn't felt in years. This giddy sensation spread throughout her whole mean and she clung to Skye happily.

Who knew what it was, maybe it was the alcohol taking the lead, but they were actually kissing, and Emily wasn't the only one out of practice, though Skye probably wasn't as far removed. Somewhere there was this weird position change followed by a tumbling and a flailing of limbs, but somehow, they made it to the cushion.
Uncharacteristically, Skye had also found herself shaking a little with nerves, but...that was okay. The purple light settled back into the pink. When the kiss broke, Skye was giddy and smiling from ear to ear and she just sort of leaned her head on Emily's shoulder, the pink light occasionally fading to orange and back.
